There are many diseases that can attack your garden and use of the health of your plants. Having cultivated the land, started seedlings and faithfully food vegetables and drink, the last thing we want is for powdery mildew or fungus that stand between you and the crunchy cucumber first. And pesticides and treatments Store Cart add chemicals are harmful to their future for food, soil and water runoff to return to our streams, rivers and oceans. Please do not do that!
Here are 4 simple remedies that can help rid many common problems in your garden, safely and naturally. And you probably have at least three of them at home already.
1. Apple Cider Vinegar
Use cider vinegar to treat a variety of plant diseases such as rust, black spot and powdery mildew.
Mix 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar in 2 quarts water
Pour into a spray bottle.
Spray the solution from infected plants in the morning or early evening – when temperatures have cooled and no direct sunlight on the plant.
Repeat until the disease is cured.
2. Bicarbonate sodium (sodium bicarbonate)
This works very simply against the fungi of plants.
Mix 1 tablespoon and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a gallon water.
Add a few drops of liquid soap biodegradable solution to help spread more evenly on the leaves.
Spray infected plants, including the underside of leaves.
3. Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide and water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen, but hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a reinforcement of oxygen. When plants are sprayed with hydrogen peroxide, oxygen is released into the soil around roots, resulting in the rapid growth of healthy roots. The roots need oxygen and most root diseases caused when they are not getting enough. This is usually the result of excessive irrigation, when the air spaces around the roots are filled with water instead of air. The plant does not can absorb nutrients properly when this happens. One begins to fade, and the gardener's attention to add water, worsening the problem. Try using peroxide 3% hydrogen cheaply, you can buy at the pharmacy. Mix 2 teaspoons per gallon of water, and use the next time you water.
4. Milk
Milk is a large fungus and virus hunters in the garden. To help prevent the mushrooms, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of powdered milk on the ground around your plants in early of the season before reaching problems. If you see the fungus on the leaves of tomatoes, roses or other plants, spray a mixture of diluted milk (1 part milk to 1 part water) directly from infected leaves. You can even use milk that has soured.
5. Neem oil
Neem oil works great as a biological insecticide, because it disturbs the hormonal balance of the insect, killing the insect before it moves to the next stage of life. Neem oil kills pests (whitefly, aphids, Japanese beetles, larvae, mites, scale, mites) after feeding on the leaves sprayed with oil. It also encourages others with his strong odor.
Aerosols containing neem oil, also used as fungicides against rust, black spot, mildew, leaf spot, scab and blight. Mix 2 tablespoons of 70% Neem oil 1 gallon of water. All plants sprayed surfaces, including upper and lower leaf surfaces until completely wet. As a precaution, neem oil spray every two weeks. To control a pest or disease is already present, apply a week.
